U20 USA vs Fiji. Fiji playing bunker ball but still 0-0. Not expected to be a close match but kinda wanted to watch some of players. Update. 0-0 halftime -not as planned. 250+/- passes by USA
Just a reminder: AC MILAN legends and one club men, Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini played 196 matches as a central defensive partnership — conceding just 23 goals. “How Good Were Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi Really?”
I have been to Andrův stadion, the Sigma Olomouc stadium. I watch a 2004 Euro Qualifier, Czech Republic v. Moldova there. June, 2003 and Czechia won 5-0. They had great teams back then. I saw about 6 fans with Fire jerseys. Probably wouldn't see that now.
Bayern pull it out, as Dortmund draws. Don't like the "goal difference" being the tie breaker. If the top two are tied, they should play a one-game championship match. If not, it should be most wins first. Then goal difference.
In the Women's Super League (English Women's PL, which probably sucks), Chelsea pulls it out on the final day. 19-1-3, 58 points (out 66 possible), +51 gd. Manchester United ended 18-2-2, 56 points, +44 gd, to take second. Reading, with 11 points, are relegated.
Too bad Coventry lost on penalties. It would have been nice to see them promoted. Coventry v. Chelsea in Coventry in January, 2000 is the first EPL (which sucks, but still) match I saw in person. It was my first time in England and the only match with tickets available. Coventry is not a particularly nice city, but we had a good time. A very young Robbie Keane (19 or 20) scored in the match.
Was going to flip on playoff basketball or hockey after the CF97 game, but I've got 15 minutes left in the Red Stars game so I'm giving that a watch first.
Carlisle v. Stockport at Wembley on the ESPN+ right now. English League Two playoff final for promotion to English League One.
